Oct 15th server/admin announcement...

**Magnum50** · 10-16-2006, 01:28 PM

Just so the visitors here know whats going on with Americas Army at Tactical Gamer.

With the recent new update, (v2.7), there has been many reported tech problems. The most predominate problems are the fact that the server crashes whenever one of the new co-op maps load. (this is just not on our server, but a number of other servers also.)

Also, you can't go a night without everyone getting booted out or disconnected by the server at least once. And when you play AA the way we do here at TG, that can cause people up to an hour till the next game.

And finally, for the fact that frankly the two new co-op maps are way to easy. (Fish and I finished both with just us two.)

Till the developers of Americas Army admits theres problems with this new version, (there still in-denial), our Americas Army server won't be used that much by it's members.

I've already lost all my admins for the the server except for myself and Mirfee.

The server is rarely used, it will remain up for as long as Apophis wants it, but there probably won't be any AA nights or admins on to control it till they fix the game.

Just letting you know, so you won't wonder why no ones ever on.

A shame really...this game has so much potential for TG er's. Thanks for the update.

Sorry to hear it...

2.7 has more bugs than it should have for sure (never should have made it out of QC in the state it's in).

I'll have to say that TG's AA server is the only one I've played on with the random pbkick and coop map issues. I haven't seen these show stopping issues on the other servers I've played the coop maps on.

Here's hoping the Army fixes 2.7 soon and we don't have to wait through another whole content and feature dev cycle.

Bummer... but I agree with the decision made. I just can't play the game when its booting me and my squadmates out randomly. No sense keeping it going if nobody will (or can) play it

**Magnum50** · 10-17-2006, 04:34 AM

don't get me wrong... the servers still up and I join it once in a while... just saying, till they fix the problems will be hard to find an admin on it, and/or may be pretty dead most if not all of the time.

I could always try a full re-install of the AA server and see if that helps.

**Clodhopper** · 10-18-2006, 03:15 AM

Anything to fix it would be nice! Also, don't get ME wrong... I want to play AA, but the game just don't want me playing it :P

Chuckles-TLC · 10-20-2006, 03:45 PM

Apophis, I think that would be the next logical step hassle though it may be. It just seems to me there must be some old files or settings that got left behind from the previous version that are somehow messing with the server. Perhaps even some file corruption somewhere but I'm really just guessing.

I had read of many folks complaining about corrupted installer downloads when 2.7 was released. I grabbed it via a torrent just to be sure I didn't end up with that trouble myself.

**Magnum50** · 10-20-2006, 04:22 PM

I know SimHq tried to put up there own server, and it was a completely new and fresh install... and still had the problems, so not so sure about the old file causing it.

Chuckles-TLC · 10-20-2006, 08:37 PM

Hehe... It bears repeating: 2.7 should not have been released.

Been too busy reading other stuff to go dig through the AA forums looking for info (especially since I don't run a server).

P.S. Good luck and thanks for the effort if ya'll decide to try again. If not, it's completely understandable why.
